I was lucky enough to volunteer here for one and half months and I loved every minute of it! The hostel is in a great location -- just a few minutes walk from the center of town, but still in a quiet and safe street. The owners are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area.

Excellent hostel. We stayed in a small 4 bedded dorm with en suite bathroom. Excellent value for money, hot water!! The facilities were ok good value for money. A bit difficult to find initially! Very close to the main town area & thermal baths. Staff were helpful :)

Backpackers Hostel Los Pinos is definitely worth staying! The rooms are nice and clean, the communal spaces are great for spending your day during rain (there are even Dutch books in the hostel), the breakfast and dinner were fine and the owner was really helpful. It was one of the best hostels (if not, the best) I've stayed in during... More

This hostel is very quiet, peaceful and well kept. The rooms are very nice and have great bathroom/shower facilities. From my room I had a great view of the towering green mountain cliffs surrounding Banos. The room was defiantly one of the best I stayed in on my Ecuador trip. The social area was quiet but had a great pool... More

I've been there in early January 2013 with four Argentinian friends. We loved the place, the atmosphere, good vibes, service. The owners are a very friendly Argentinian couple. I definitely recommend this hostel to stay in Baños. For more information you can take a look on GavinC1985's review. It's just the way he describes it.
